In her #JEB100 ECR Spotlight, Chloe Fouilloux tells us about her #research, where she discovered that #poisonfrog #tadpoles that develop in cloudy #water are less likely to evade a predator than tadpoles reared in clear water and why she thinks having great mentors is the secret to success.

ECR Spotlight – Chloe Fouilloux

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology during our centenary year, but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Chloe Fouilloux is an author on ‘ Visual environment of rearing sites affects larval response to perceived risk in poison frogs’, published in JEB. Chloe Fouilloux is a PhD researcher in the lab of Bibiana Rojas at University of Jyväskylä, Jyväskylä, Finland, investigating the evolutionary ecology of animals, especially with respect to decision-making and social relationships.
